Morning Kevin

Welcome to the Forum

Not seen this on a petrol model yet seen quite a few diesel though, as your car is only 4 years old unless it has covered more miles than the star ship Enterprise a blocked DPF/Cat is unlikely.

A diagnostic session should find the culprit quickly, my guess would be a sensor gone wrong. If you don't have your own diagnostics a good garage with a BMW capable system can do it. Or if you have an extended Warranty with BMW use them

The Differential Pressure sensor  sits on top of the DPF/Cat so should be fairly easy to reach

Hope this helps

Dave

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Morning Andrew That sounds like a good deal getting the tyres set up The best is BMW ISTA/INPA this will give full dealer access and also includes WIS (Workshop Information) TIS (Technical Information) Wiring Diagrams plus allowing registration of parts and programming I still see copies available for around £100 to £150 there is also stand alone systems like Foxwell, Autologic and iCarsoft Good Luck Happy Christmas Dave
